OK, Wow I heard it was going to be tough, but wow. I've damaged two tables by C-Clamping it down. Any suggestions for getting the not removed from the front Yoke on the Tcase?

Check this tool out.
If you have a welder/torch and a pile of scrap....
You can make one.
Don"t use an impact!
Many do,but all the manuals say,"strictly VERBADEN!"
This tool and a breaker bar with a cheater pipe should do the trick.

The Mopar FSM doesn't say it's verboten to use an impact wrench to remove that nut. That's probably the most common tool and the one that is least likely to harm anything due to the speed at which it gets the nut off without traumatizing anything in the process.

Well , there ya go.
I should known better than to quote "all the manuals".
I haven't read them all.
And there is always someone with one handy!
If I were Glen Hodges, and if I had a good impact handy , I would give 'er a few good burps. Fer sure.
But.
My collective experience tells me to be conservative on these things.
I have gleaned enough experience with factory service manuals , to come to this conclusion:
They are produced by the factory as a guide for their trained certified techs.
They are expecting a trained and experienced person , to be using a shop equipped to their level and specifications.
They are also building these procedures and using these techniques, to support a flat rate of time. They use these rates determine what they will pay the dealership for warranty work.
After that.... Its only intended as a guide. Not a rule.
If you use that manual on a gear case of any kind after its been in service for a number of years, You must consider:
The factory had a NEW pile O parts to make that guide.
Proper Locktite levels were adhered too.
A Gorilla with a brand new Snap-On impact and a itchy trigger finger, was NOT involved!
No rust was EVER present.
So , if you do apply some impaction action... you gotta be conservative and realize the average Joe doesn't know how much is too much.
Thats my two cents worth.

Removing nuts with an impact wrench poses little risk. Installing nuts with an impact wrench is something else entirely.

I will concede.
I have made the rash assumption that Glen doesn't have an impact.
Otherwise why is he C-clamping that Bad Boy to a table??
Hey Glen! You got a good 1/2" impact ???
If not you can use Jerrys!

Ya know, you guys get me through these projects, even though you bicker like hell. Thanks Jerry and Joe for the help. I do not own an impact, but I have one at work, so I loaded up the Tcase and nut came off in about 3 seconds. I will be buying an impact this weekend, for sure.
Now the project can move forward until the next problem. I'll talk to you then.

So does this mean I shouldn't use my impact to put the nut back on? Putting together at NV241 this weekend and I don't have a yoke holding tool.
actually they used Ingersol, Atlas Copco, or Aro impacts that have a built in Torqe limiter. even Boeing uses themWell , there ya go.

Milwaukee Fuel 18 volt will do anything and does not need a compressor. Really surpised how well they work after I got mine last Christmas.
Yes but those beauties are out of financial reach for us mere mortals and commoners. My 1/2" HFT and Ingersoll Rand torque wrenches have torque limiting settings but I sure wouldn't trust either to tighten the nut on my tcase.
I was referring to the OEM's using impacts to assemble them with, not average joe, but they do come up on surplus.
